Chelsea are reportedly linked with a move for Lazio defender Nuno Tavares.
The 25-year-old has performed very well since leaving Arsenal permanently and his performances have caught the attention of the London club. It will be interesting to see whether Chelsea respond to their interest and make a formal offer to sign him.
They could use more depth in the left-back department and Tavares could be a useful addition. According to a report from LaLazioSiamoNoi, the Italian club values him at 50 million euros. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea are willing to pay.
A return to the Premier League could tempt Nuno Tavares
The defender may feel he has unfinished business in the Premier League. Tavares failed to make an impact at Arsenal and left the club after just 28 appearances. The opportunity to return could be exciting for him. In addition to that, Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in the world. The opportunity to play for them could be tough for most players.
Asking price can be a big issue in a potential move. Chelsea will not want to pay more than the odds for a 25-year-old. For any move to go through, the Italian side will need to be reasonable in their demands.
Vivares could be a useful addition
Tavares is no stranger to the Premier League and could make an immediate impact if he joins the London club. That could be the ideal next step in his career now. He has managed to get his career back on track with regular football in Italy and will now aim to join a more ambitious team and fight for trophies.
The Italian team will not want to lose him easily and it remains to be seen whether they will be willing to negotiate a reasonable contract with Chelsea.
